I am astonished to see SE P990i has 16384K colors as reported by SM Pro.
Please check: Swiss Mgr Pro/System/Colors which will show the following details:
Display
Dimension: 240 x 320 pixels
Colors: 16384K
Address: 0x65660000

I don't thing the difference is so big that I wouldn't buy the phone because it has "only" 262K screen...

me and my friend compared our screens (N95 and k810. 5 minutes ago). we downloaded 2 exactley same wallpaper and looked. you couldnt see any difference about color, sharpness, and so on. (and if you dont believe me, just compare yourself with some (SE/Nokia) friend and you will see).

I think pixel density is
way more important than 256k vs. 16M colors. Especially on a small cell phone screen. But folks want to get all caught up in statistics. It's like saying my Ferrari can go 190 MPH but your Porsche tops out at only 180 MPH. Gets kinda silly. Having said that, I believe SE's use of the 256k color screens is a question of money. And the surplus of the type of screens they already have bought. I don't believe for a second that it contributes to battery drain. As mentioned previously, it's way more a matter of backlighting. And the capacity of the battery, which is often determined by the form factor of the phone. My Nokia N95 had a paltry 900 mAh battery, and for a mobile with all that stuff packed into it like WiFi and GPS that's just stupid. I just picked up a shiney new Nokia E61i and that bad boy has a 1500 mAh battery. That's more like it! It's a longer battery but just as thin as the N95's so a re-design of the case is definitely in order.

SE does have 16M phones just not GSM. Look at w51s or SO903iTV it is suppose to have a screen just as good as a BRAVIA LCD TV. Nokia is miles behind. Only if they bring it to their GSM phones

Guys lets be honest here...
All
phones are way overpriced, the K850 will be waaay overpriced at launch, it's not a matter of cost, it's a matter of strategy and profit.
When u pay €630 for a handset the few cents the 16m screen cost is not the issue. Don't kid your selves,
_is_ milking it ;]
Having said that, the recent
displays _are_ crisp and clear.
To you that say that the human eye can't see the 16m colors: True and False.
The average human eye can see between 3-10 million shades of colors at the same time, this don't mean that you can only see 3-10 million shades at total. (I'm no eye doctor ok)
Also have in mind that you don't see the same shades as other people, so more shades (colors) means better viewing.
Also genes gives some people the ability to see far more than 16 million shades. This is the reason why some people see the difference in the Ferrari RED while most think this color has always been the same on all red Ferraris.
My point is, number of colors _does_ matter, no need to kid ourselves it don't. This don't nessesary mean that a 16m display is better than a 262k display for every purpose. Also the downside of 16m displays so far is they tend to fade in sunlight just a tad bit more than 262k displays.

I'm sure some people hard to notice the difference between 16m v 256k, some cant surely say how depth the colour of the phone showed to him if they didnt read the spec before.
I'm agree with above, colour depth does not take it all. LCD quality, LCD type, resolution, backlight and the LCD width made it too.
Remember k700 vs 6600, same colour but k700 more nice looking, even compare to xphone2 (same 176x220)
A little difference in LCD colour does not change my decision to buy a phone id the feature far away more superior.
Like TFT v TFD if one should i choose, i prefer TFD because it doesnt show much difference in display but had much more performance in battery.

plankgatan.. hemm.. not quite sure about what you say, coz i did compare my K800 with 6300, and the difference is just too much. 6300 is way brighter and more colourful. I am not sure about N95 though, i don't see much of 16m colours phone and i only get my chance once to see that brilliance of the 16m colour display.

our friend at se-net.net compared the K850 screen with N95 and this is what they have to say:-
From several angles the screen looks decent, however it does not have the brightness of the N95 display due to the 16M colors of the Nokia family member.

And the K850 doesnt seems to be smaller in size than N95. Even the thickness deosnt seem to be much different from the N95. K850 looks longer.
